About the tides at Point of Pines

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.8 ft. With a mean range of about 5.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 5.9 ft, on Sunday.

Point of Pines is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Ocella Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see North Edisto River entrance.
